It's nothing extraordinary, a fairly rolling climb apart from one short section, but it doesn't really last, even though it feels right for the end of the day!... read more

It's nothing extraordinary, a fairly rolling climb apart from one short section, but it doesn't really last, even though it feels right for the end of the day!

Rien d'extraordinaire, une montée assez roulante hormis un petit passage mais qui ne dure pas vraiment, même si on le sent bien pour une fin de journée !

It's clearly not a difficult climb given the gradients and that's why I would recommend the other 2 sides of the Col de Bluffy instead. Above all, it's a very wide road that can be very busy. It's not really a climb but rather a passage towards Lake Annecy.

Ce n'est clairement pas une côte difficile vu les pourcentages et c'est pour ça que je conseillerais plutôt les 2 autres versants du col de Bluffy. C'est surtout une route très large et qui peut être fort empruntée. Ce n'est pas vraiment une montée mais plutôt un passage vers le lac d'Annecy

Very busy road but the passage is obligatory to return by the lake or to loop back to La Forclaz

Route très fréquentée mais le passage est obligatoire pour rentrée par le lac ou boucler vers la Forclaz

A classic of the Col du Marais, Thônes and back loop via Bluffy .
Despite a cycle lane, you don't feel particularly safe on the D909, which is a busy road in fine weather. A nicer and more interesting version is to take the small road that passes through Le Pégny, Frénay and Barbanchon and reaches the summit, then just descend to the lake.

Un classique de la boucle Col du Marais, Thônes et retour par Bluffy .
Malgré une bande cyclable on ne se sent pas particulièrement en sécurité sur la D909 qui est une route à forte circulation aux beaux jours, une version plus sympathique et plus intéressante est d'emprunter la petite route qui passe par Le Pégny, Frénay et Barbanchon et qui rejoint juste au sommet, il ne restera plus ensuite qu'à descendre vers le lac.
